Sa pamamagitan ng mga amendment na pinangungunahan ng mamamayan, itinaas ng mga botante ang minimum na sahod, kinakailangan ang transparency mula sa ating gobyerno, itinatag ang unibersal na boluntaryong pre-kindergarten at mas maliliit na laki ng klase, at pinrotektahan ang ating mga kayamanan sa kapaligiran.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linawin din natin: sa ngayon, ang proseso para makakuha ng amendment sa balota sa Florida ay isa na sa pinakamahigpit sa bansa, na nangangailangan ng halos isang milyong pirma para makapasok sa balota at 60% na suporta mula sa mga botante para makapasa.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upang magbigay ng punto sa kung gaano kahirap makuha ang suportang 60%, ang orihinal na konstitusyon ng Florida, na ipinasa ng mga tao ng ating estado noong 1868, ay nakatanggap lamang ng 59.95% ng boto!<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ngunit ngayon, sinusubukan ng mga pulitiko at mayayamang espesyal na interes na isulat muli ang mga patakaran upang higit pang mapanatili ang kapangyarihan sa kanilang mga kamay sa halip na hayaan ang mga tao na magsalita.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nag-alok si Gobernador Ron DeSantis at mga mambabatas sa Tallahassee ng isang hanay ng mga panukala ngayong taon na may matinding paghihigpit sa mga pagbabagong pinangungunahan ng mamamayan, na umaatake sa ating kakayahang lumahok sa ating demokrasya. At mabilis nilang sinusubaybayan ang mga panukalang ito sa pamamagitan ng proseso ng pambatasan.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mali iyon para sa Florida at isang sintomas ng pamumuno na mas interesado sa kanilang sariling mga ambisyon sa pulitika kaysa sa pakikinig sa mga taong inihalal sa kanila upang paglingkuran.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dapat nating bigyan ng kapangyarihan ang mga tao na magkaroon ng higit na boses, hindi maglagay ng higit pang mga paghihigpit dito.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ang kagandahan ng aming proseso ng pag-amyenda ay hindi namin kailangang sumang-ayon sa bawat pag-amyenda.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tiyak na bumoto ako laban sa maraming mga susog at marami rin akong sinuportahan.
